HOME + GARDEN
4. ADD AMBIENT LIGHTING As evening falls, lighting becomes essential. Solar lanterns, festoon lights, and tea lights in glass jars create a warm and inviting atmosphere. Drape lights through trees or along fences to make your garden glow.
5. ENTERTAINMENT & EXTRAS Set the mood with a curated playlist and consider low-key garden games like boules or croquet. A DIY cocktail or dessert station adds a fun, interactive element for guests.
6. PLAY WITH THEMES A subtle theme can tie your party together. Whether it’ s Mediterranean chic, rustic farmhouse or English country garden, use colours, tableware, and floral arrangements to bring your vision to life.
